Double glazed units - internal seal

beefster

Does anyone know where i can buy the rubber seal used on the internal side of a double glazed window. Mine are a bit grubby and have shrunk a bit and i wanted to replace them. I had some left over by the installers from when they where fitted but need some more.

Take a bit out. Cut it off (a few inches will do). Take it to a glaziers, and they should be able to help you. This is an easy job if it is wedge gasket, but you need the correct size (it comes in many). If it is too small, the unit will be loose. If it is too big, you won't get it in, plus you will risk breaking the glass.

Rub a bit of soapy water (washing up liquid) on the new gasket before you push it in. It will make the job a lot easier.
